  1. There is a up-to 50% incidence of misdiagnosis related to medical images in the USA according to independent publications by McKinsey, the Mayo Clinic, and The Journal of Clinical Oncology. About $27 billion per year is spent on imaging in the country is wasted and deemed unnecessary radiation to patients according to a study by the McKinsey Global Institute. Astonishingly it might well be true that more people are killed in the USA due to medical errors than in traffic accidents.
